Comment by Fabiana on Mental Subvocalization --"Saying" Words In Your Mind As You Read · 2014-07-24T09:14:05.314Z · LW · GW

Hello, I'm Italian and I apologize in advance if I will be fairly straightforward, but it's because I'm tired .. and the reason is this general paranoia on: "Oh, I can hear my voice pronouncing the words .. Am I normal? Am I not efficient enough?" creating a multitude of anxious people about their own level of efficiency. I remind you that I'm Italian, my country has produced the best scientists, engineers, architects when the problem of subvocalizzazione did not even exist. As for me, I stopped to consider it a problem .. I subvocalize everything because if I did not it would simply be impossible for me to understand what I study: namely mathematics .. and challenge anyone to be able to read 800 words per minute on a math textbook, an extremely strict discipline, where EVERY single detail is important and every little mistake is able to overturn the result. Having said that, months ago I read an article about how to teach dyslexic children to develop an inner voice, the lack of which, that seems to be a common feature in these people, is the cause of poor reading. Is this not strange? Greetings.
